Bull Bars

There's been more work on the front end of WHR diesel number 9, specifically the protective structure in front of the radiator.

The real one has quite a few more bars, but short of getting something etched bespoke for us I think this will give enough of an effect.

Besides which, I'm hearing whispers that the prototype etch for the loco we're using has turned out to be a smidgeon on the small side when a tape measure was run over the real thing, so there's always the question of how much effort Himself should go to with this one because I couldn't rule out that a some point in the future the chassis may be transferred to a body of the correct dimensions,

Regardless, its's developing into a very nice looking model, and given that the real one has only made the most occasional forays to Beddgelert so far it's never likely to be a front line machine for us,

But it is yellow, and yellow is my favourite colour, so it's definitely got a place in our stockbox.
